SIZE MATTERS

The honourable United States District Judge Federico Moreno (and REGJB alumunus) saw fit to comment about our comment about George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st President of the United States:

Fred Moreno said...

Rumpole, whomever you are, I have only commented once before in your blog when Judge Richard Hickey died. Now, I could not resist complimenting you on the description of President Bush 41 as a real American hero. I forwarded your remarks to former Governor Jeb Bush and he emailed me to "please thank the blogger for the kind words about my dad." FAM

Dear Judge Moreno:

Thank you for reading the blog.

Your efforts are appreciated.

As to Jeb Bush, your email is appreciated, but just between us- our former governor knows how we feel about his dad.

SIZE MATTERS

Apparently, size matters to the 45th president of the United States. Size of the crowds, size of his hands, how many times he has been on the cover of Time magazine.

When the 45th president of the United States stood in front of the wall of stars and heroes at the CIA and grandiosely and cavalierly spoke about the greatness of his speech and the size of his crowds, and made scant reference to the heroes who died without personal recognition in the service of their country- and one of those stars represents a former Miami Assistant Public Defender who joined the clandestine service- we cringed. Anyone with a sense of history and honor and service and dignity cringed.
